Ketamine for procedural sedation vs troches
I’ve been seeing a pain doctor for a few years who does a unique treatment in office. During a session you have an injection of ketamine, versed and in my case benadryl due to nausea and are sedated for a few minutes while he works his magic. On occasion I have apparently screamed out and said things and the doctor has asked me if I have a therapist a few times. I occasionally remember screaming, but usually when the dosage is off for a larger muscle or it just didn’t hit me the right way, but have no idea what I could possible be saying that has made him ask about therapy. I have asked but he hasn’t shared. I’ve thought about starting to audio record sessions to hear what I’m experiencing.
Due to this I’m going to try KAP with troches. Is it likely I will reach this same place that I have when I’m completely under? What kind of dosage would I need (I’m female 135lbs)? I appreciate that there will be someone in the room with me who can share what I’m saying and experiencing and hopefully help me make a breakthrough, though I’m anxious that this wouldn’t lead me to the same place that I apparently need to connect with and heal.
